bradon182001 Aug 25, 2006	I found this teaser easy. Once I figured out goat, it was simple. Good wake me up this morning. Thanks for the fun.
kman613 Aug 25, 2006	I like anagrams - a couple were very easy, making the category easy to figure out, but a few took a few minutes. Liked it - thanks!
marschie Aug 25, 2006	Fooled me: For the two word one, I got "GORILLA AT"
Badger Aug 25, 2006	Lots of fun! Great teaser! Almost thru in the towel on "in place", but stuck with it and it finally popped. Thank you very much for submitting.
ItsJustWildman Aug 25, 2006	Unlike Badger, I threw in the towel on IN PLACE. I lived in Louisiana for 2 1/2 years and still couldn't get pelican!! I enjoyed this teaser! Very Good!
Scitchr Aug 25, 2006	Like the two part solution.
rajeshvt Aug 25, 2006	i got 2 right then just filpped good teaser
RRAMMOHAN Aug 25, 2006	I love anagrams and could get all except polar bear! Silly of me. The story was quite good, and it must have been hard work to think of all the links. Great job done, and I appreciate that.
flowerz2010 Aug 25, 2006	WoW! That was Fun!! Good JOb!!
Trishgal Aug 25, 2006	Loved the teaser. Got them all besides alligator and i was sure it was arial goat and there had been atypo It was fun.
Pizzazz2u Aug 25, 2006	I am NOT much of an anagram man, but this was very entertaining and good for a morning lift. You put some heavy effort into this one and I commend you. WTG!
FeaerFactorY666 Aug 25, 2006	Very nice!

blondebookworm Aug 25, 2006	Anagrams are so much fun! I got most, but missed a couple. thanks for the great teaser! you put a lot of work into it!
calmsavior Aug 25, 2006	i kinda found it easy but it was very fun!
heyman Aug 25, 2006	Pelican was the hard one. Great puzzle.
jabdr Aug 25, 2006	This was great! Like others, didn't get pelican but was very clever.
iteachkids Aug 25, 2006	S Very Clever!
thimblenoggin Aug 25, 2006	Thanks for putting in the effort.
bluehawk Aug 26, 2006	oh...my...god..., I didn't get a one Better luck next time 4 me. Good job.
utnative Aug 26, 2006	i got 4 out of the 10. first i had to look up anagram in the dictionary. very good teaser. you must have worked really hard on it. great job.
vlerma Aug 27, 2006	As everyone said Phrebd, you did a super job of putting this story together and the two part thingy made it just that much more fun. I figured out the animal part as I did get some of them right, just not all of them. This was fun. More, please!
Qrystal Aug 30, 2006	yep I couldn't get pelican either ..... i just toyed with the letters, mixed this way and that, and gave up after 49 variations. The one that sounded closest to actually being an animal was: "lepican", which, now that I know the answer, was painfully close. Anyways, I had fun, and I enjoyed actually GETTING the rest of the anagrams! I think I may go seek out the rest of the storigrams just because....
luvdoritos706 Aug 31, 2006	nice one....i got the theme but polar bear and pelican got me...good stuff though
Interpreter2 Sep 05, 2009	This was fun! I figured out half of them rather quickly, and came up with animal as the category. But I didn't have time to figure the rest, so I had to cheat and peek at the answers. Thought Polar Bear was Boar something! Great fun!
doehead Sep 05, 2009	Easy and good.
auntiesis Sep 05, 2009	Once I read the hint I started to make headway. Without knowing it was all animals I was stumped. Even with the hint I missed giraffe. Great quiz, made me think.
UptheHill Sep 05, 2009
wicked_one Sep 06, 2009	Got them all but some of them made me think more... Nice!!
Babe Sep 06, 2012	Good teaser ove figuring these out
HABS2933 Sep 06, 2012	I really enjoyed this teaser. I didn't look at the hint until it was mentioned in some of the above comments. Didn't need to. GOAT and LAMB were easy to figure, which gave the category. After that, it was pretty easy to finish.
gaylewolf Sep 06, 2012	Loved this one - thanks!
iggy39 Sep 06, 2012	really fun and i did't get polar bear and i gave u[ on pelican because i thought that one was two words.
eamon Sep 06, 2012	I got CAPELIN for the last one ( a small fish like a sardine) instead of pelican.
Maggiethe8th Sep 08, 2012	Missed a couple , but enjoyed the whole thing!
makani Nov 30, 2012	I love these stories. The concept is fun, and the stories are entertaining. They remind me of mad libs, where you can make the story funny without making real sense. Now if only I could actually solve these''' Anyhow, thanks for the entertainment.
